The Big Cool Down and Worth It

This unit was one of the Many i looked at. I wanted one that was Energy Rated 9+ and would cool a 3 bedroom house. (using a couple fans to keep the back rooms cool) After many, many hours over several weeks the Wife and i decided on the 'Kenmoor 25,000 BTU A/C.
It had all the right Specifications and the AMP cooling draw was really a Big Factor at only 12 Amps. The unit was packed well in a Whole Box (not like others that give protective pieces over the intake and exhaust fins). The instructions were Very easy to understand and follow.
The unit is NOT a 1 person job in installation. This bad-lad is heavy at 122+ pounds. (Felt like a million) I made a ramp and slide mine up that with the Wife helping guide it and then pull it over so it would slide on in - You Go Girl (thank Heaven, cause my spine was cracking like a plumbers ****).
The rest was simplex (as long as the proper receptacle is in place (which mine was NOT) and making sure the plugs mate up is an Excellent idea. Easy.

WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER KENMORE

We bought one of these 2 years ago, it would not get cold already this year during the hottest week of the year, so we went and got this one less than 3 weeks ago, went to turn it on this morning after only using it a handful of times in the last 3 weeks and unit will not power on at all. Will never buy another Kenmore air conditioner again, and will consider never buying another Kenmore anything ever again, needless to say this unit is going to be returning tomorrow morning and I will get a refund.

This is the best air conditioner window unit I have bought in sometime. I know always trusted the Kenmore brand name. I totally agree the name Kenmore is very dependable and reputable. I going to enjoy this window unit for a long time to come. So glad I made the choice to purchase Kenmore. I would recommend this window unit to everyone that looks for a review on this window unit.

Last summer our main a.c. unit went out. We shopped around for a new unit but decided on this unit due to having such great experiences with Kenmore products in the past. So far I really love this unit. The house is much cooler. The supplied remote actually shows a digital readout of the actual room temp. Some ppl. complain about the noise, but it is not as loud as last unit (different brand). I personally think that ppl need to understand that anytime you buy a window/wall mount a.c. unit there will be a certain amount of fan noise. I am totally pleased with this purchase.
